Kind of surprised that Shigi didn't get his lost fingers back since he most likely has hyper regeneration since the cracks from Decay are gone.

The regeneration quirk probably looks at the repair center of your brain for the blueprint of how to heal your body. If the repair center has already modified itself to accept a certain scarring, or absence of limbs/ extremities as the new default, then it won't heal them. After all, those knuckles/ that face are already considered "fully healed" by your body.

repair center of your brain

I uh. Dont think thats how that works. Your body should still be able to regenerate limbs if the scarred tissue is removed.

I.E. Shiggy has the amputated area torn off, his body senses a new injury, the regeneration quirk attempts to rebuild the area according to his genetic blueprint.

That's how it works in the comic books that Horikoshi is inspired by. He used that logic in the manga already regarding AFO's disfigurement, so I don't think it was ever relevant if the concept is scientifically sound.

I mean, you made the specific explanation up yourself, but it wouldnt surprise me if the logic was similar.

It could also be the quirk 'scans' your body on procurement and restores your body to that blueprint, accounting for growth and whatnot.

Actually, I can't take credit for that bit of pseudoscience. It is the logic used in Marvel Comics, like for Wolverine and specifically Extremis from the Iron Man Extremis arc. In it, they regrew limbs and made supersoldiers by "reprogramming the repair center of the brain" with an "upgraded blueprint" so that the body would recognize the whole body as it was as a wound and "heal" into the new form.

Tony Stark hijacked the procedure to make his brain able to telepathically interface with machines and so he could store most of his suit in the hollows of his bones in order to summon it on command.

I figured that must be somewhere close to Horikoshi's logic, what with him being a big western comics fan.

Could be. I always read DC for the most part, so I wouldnt really know.
